@Simas: Very true.

@Masterpain22: Yeah, I definitely get why they put him on the cover - I was just genuinely interested as to how overrated he might be stateside. My suspicions were confirmed when I got two replies that placed him in the upper echelon of world football and called him world class, things that simply are not true.

@Ryan_the_D: Upper echelon? He is middle-tier at very best. He spent an extremely short time in Europe before he was sent on loan to San Jose Earthquake, aside from that he played 4 friendly games or something I believe for Bayern Munich? He has never been properly tested outside MLS.

@Simas: He isn't really a world class player though. World Class implies so much more than Donavan has to his game.

Now, before I go on. Don't get me wrong, I like Landon Donavan, he is a good professional, hardworker and extremely fit athlete. BUT, I have to ask..how do Americans rate Landon Donavan on a world scale? Do you guys recognise in comparison to world football, he's actually a fairly average player who excels in a bad…

It's not a Hollywood film, it was an indie flick. Why does everyone assume 'GALRBALNA HOLLYWOOD GOT DERE HANDS ONIT'

@Tenshigure: Hm, you right. Never really lost my cool like that myself not once in my life so I wouldn't know.

The guy who fought back took a stomping. How they managed to run them out of the store is beyond me, if that guy took anymore hits he'd be knocked out and they probably could of overpowered the others easily. I guess they turned out to be little puss's themselves.

@ergheiz: good luck piercing anything with a DS stylus buddy

yeah god forbid he makes a small insignificant typo..then maybe some drip from kotaku won't take him seriously =[

@DelianSK13: Judging by that post you think a good percentage of people are idiots.

And so trend of using popular music that has no relevance or business or anything at all to do with the trailer of the game it is in continues. Next year BFBC3 will have Lady Gaga's Alejandro.

@Kellen Dunkelberger: Public Enemy Bring Tha Noise didn't get you pumped? I don't know what to say to you man. But hip hop is as good as music as any to accompany any kind of sport really. All you really want is high tempo and big bass lined stuff.

@Kellen Dunkelberger: Sorry I didn't know musical genres were assigned different sports. Get out of here man game day anthems can be country and western for all I care, as long as they get me pumped to play football.

good job on song 2. my fav blur song after coffee and tv. wheres the hip hop though?

@Fernando Jorge: Metal Gear Solid 2 so I can have my mind frazzled again.

@Holmes: This is a completely wrong statement yet somehow it is always repeated whenever Madden is discussed on Kotaku.

There are some great multiplayer vids floating around from E3 that show you how MP works. Including a really entertaining one between a Sony and Ubisoft rep. Consider me surprised at how good multiplayer looks, and how good the whole game in general looks actually. I was always going to buy it but I thought at most…

@yevinorion: yeah for sure, if anything i think you guys are good for a play-offs push this year most definitely. i like the dolphins anyway (reminds me of ace ventura in my younger days) so i wouldn't mind seeing them do well

you lost me at volunteering for ron paul
